My company had a celabration today and catered dinner for all of us. The main coarse was a sirloin steak and two chicken breast tender loins, all grilled, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob,green beans, slaw, a roll, a peanut butter cookie and a pint of ice cream. I ate only the chicken and 1/4 of the steak and tossed the rest. The extra ICE CREAM is in the freezer in our control room and I want some, but i'm in the zone and have been loosing for the last two months. Please send encouragement if you know what I'm going through to stay out of the ice cream.:blushing:

The human body is amazing at storing calories. Simply amazing, you can eat 500 calories easily in one sitting but do you know what you have to do to burn that 500 calories? ;o)

Get a photo of a person at your goal size, then get a photo of that ice cream. Which do you want more?

The ice cream will make you happy for a few minutes, thin will make you happy for a lifetime. It's all perspective.

You can do this, if you have to go dump salt all over that ice cream and then pitch it! It's just not worth it in the end.

It's hard living as an obese person, it's pretty nice living as a thin person. Hang in there, you can do this!

BACK AWAY FROM THE ICE CREAM! Put your spoon down! You can do this...it's only FAT LADEN artery clogging sugar rich goo that after you eat it you'll regret it when you wake up in the morning! And it' won't even taste that good!

Better yet ....throw it away! Nobody needs it!

I finally figured out that dang ticker. Can anyone else see it?

I have had ice cream two times since I was banded. (3 months and 42 pounds lost) That has been the only sweet treat I have allowed myself to have. I had about 1/4 to 1/2 cup and was satisfied and I did not feel guilty. I did not fall off the wagon and start eating junk or unhealthy foods. I know in the end what my main goal is but I do not intend to live my life without a treat now and then. I do like sugar free fudge pops and popsicle, that satisifies my sweet tooth.

No Ticker, sorry, I have not figured it out either. That is why all my info is listed at the bottom.

It was on your first post ????

You can do it!! Stay away from the ice cream! You've done so well so far...:blushing:

Thanks for all the encouragement. I just watched a co-worker eat his ice cream and it wasn't that upsetting. I think I'm going to bake some fish.

Your ticker is back. How did you do that?

Ticker rocks and take the ice cream put it in the sink and hurry and run hot water on it. Or give it to your co-worker.

Maybe take 2 bites then trash it ..

You did great today and that is awesome with all that great food ...

Kudos for you big time .

Tell somebody to take that stuff home. Convince them that their kids would really enjoy it. If not melt it down the sink while no one is watching and claim you have no idea what happened to it or who ate it when asked.:thumbs_up:

Well it's one in the morning and I am still going strong, no ice cream for me. As far as the ticker goes, I'm sure I went the wrong way about it. I went to ticker factory dot com and picked one out. copied it to that first post then copied it to my signature under user CP. I'm sure their is an easier way. I'm just behind on how to use a computer.
